Box of Trash humbly command attention with new EP

By Brooke

“There’s a famous story with Lyle [Kennedy, vocalist], the first day we got into Chicago,” says Jordan McKee, drummer for Scottish four-piece Box of Trash, with a laugh when I ask if the guys have any memorable moments from writing or recording. “Joan [Velez], the guy that runs our label picked us up and we went into an IHOP for breakfast. He’d met us for maybe 2-3 hours the previous night. Lyle here thought the butter was a dollop of ice cream and ate a spoonful in front of Joan and then proceeded to try and swallow it, probably spit half of it out. Joan probably looked at us at that point and thought ‘why the fuck have I brought these guys over here on a plane?’.”
